Both the users ams108 & GCUgreyarea below can't distinguish Scritti Politti from generic pop of the 80s and now, which is a shame. Scritti Politti in the 80s were undoubtedly one of the most intelligent pop acts around. The production says this alone, but the lyrics drive the point home.

I despised this group when they emerged and I still do. Pointlessly effeminate shash. It helped set a tone which pushed and shoved an otherwise fantastic decade towards the cultural vacuum that it eventually became.
